Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council has concluded the award stage of its public procurement process for the "Lightning Reach - Digital Portal" project. This contract, focused on housing services, has been awarded to Lightning Social Ventures. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. Key details include a project duration starting from 1st July 2026 and concluding on 30th June 2027, with a contract value of £120,000. The procurement is categorised under services and operates within the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom.

This contract provides excellent opportunities for firms specialising in digital and housing services, particularly those capable of delivering projects within a structured framework agreement environment. While the procurement process was selective, businesses looking to expand their portfolio and capabilities in collaboration with public sector projects might see similar future tenders beneficial for growth. Companies with experience working alongside large organisations like Leeds City Council would be well-suited to engage in this sphere, although this specific contract does not target SMEs or VCSEs directly.
